About Robert:
I come from four language groups, Kaurna from the Adelaide Plains, Narungga from Your Peninsula, Nganguraku from River Murray and Ngarrindjeri from lower River Murray and Coorong region.
For many years I have been learning, living and sharing my culture, locally, nationally and internationally. I've been playing the didgeridoo since the age of 8 and been learning and sharing cultural dance since the age of 11,
My goal is to walk in the foot steps of our ancestors and appreciate country and all it has to offer through both spiritual and physical connection, we carry and share our knowledge to inspire future generations to walk in our footsteps and look after country and educate the community about our culture.

2024 Round Table Intention
Our 2024 round table is designed to address the core of our mission statement – to consolidate learnings and best practice in post-mortem banking. Our hope is that by working through a number of key considerations and challenges faced by those working in a post-mortem setting we can identify key strategies and best practices that can be disseminated in a position paper for the wider community.
We welcome the expertise of Laura Forrest as a guest facilitator and contributor for this session and welcome her vast experience from the CASCADE program.
